IMDb User Review:
Harmless Fun (Ap 8, 1999 by Fraser-5 ... 8/10 ): It's Fun. It's as simple as that. The premise is not actually to far fetched. Who hasn't thought about going into space? And in this the kids get to do it. There are a few "you did it because you're a team" slushy American moments but otherwise it's a great harmless rainy day movie.
A good romp (Nov. 14, 1999): I just rented it again. I just ignore the plot porcupines and enjoy the adolescent romp. Perfect family viewing; some action and suspense, no violence, and just one kiss. For those of us that will be forever planet bound, it is sometimes nice to dream.
A callback to a more optimistic age (May 21, 2014): Impossible? Of course it is, but 'Space Camp' is a good 'ol piece of wide-eyed, optimistic 80s feel-goodery. God, I miss it. But revisiting it turned out to be more than a mere nostalgia trip. 'Space Camp' is a well made, well acted, adventure film that deftly mixes comedy, drama and thrills.Featuring a cast of talented and likable actors that you will recognize from better known films, top notch special effects and a rousing score by the great John Williams, 'Space Camp' is the type of film that today's kids need to see. Its message? Work hard, dream big and reach for the stars. It's a lesson they're not getting from our popular culture today, and it's one they desperately need to hear.
Very nostalgic (June 2, 2020 by TheHoodOfSwords 6.5/10 ): I saw Spacecamp when I was a kid. In fact I have it on VHS. I really am a boomer in disguise aren't I. Going into it I was nervous since most relics from my childhood end up being mediocre at best. This held up pretty well though if I do say so myself. Obviously a bit of it is nostalgia but this was a pretty good summer space movie. The CGI? Miniatures? Not sure exactly what it is but it looks pretty good. The zero gravity stuff is done pretty well and they use camera cuts to hide the fact it's all on a set. Some of the dialogue and pacing of the film felt a bit whacky though. I wish we got to see more of the day to day life style and training at Spacecamp. It's in there for half the film but I wish I could have seen a bit more of it. There's a remake planned apparently and I'd be more then happy to go and see it or watch it on Disney+. It's a fun summer movie that has nostalgia for me and a unique premise. While the idea of kids accidentally being sent to space is a little far fetched they explain it in a way that's satisfactory and I honestly think that's what this film is. Satisfactory. It's a nice summer movie with some cool characters and it radiates the 80's vibe but not much more then that. Oh and Joaquin is pretty good in this for a kid actor.
